The kindness of strangers

Yet again, I find myself with two post’s waiting in the wings, but first I want to post this.

I was stood in the queue of my local pharmacy, in typical North-East England style, the lady in front of my started chatting to me. She made reference to the fact that she had just come from the gym, I responded that I was preparing to undertake, Sport Relief, Swimathon.

The next thing I know, £2.00 was being placed in my hand, accompanied with the words “good luck”. She explained she had no-one to sponsor this year and therefore, she would like to sponsor me.

It was such a lovely gesture, given in complete trust, she didn’t know me from Adam and had know way of knowing if I was telling the truth, yet she, without question, handed me £2.00.
